QUEST

All first-year students at Calvin for the fall semester will attend QUEST, which is a three-and-a-half day orientation program that takes place prior to the start of classes. After helping your student move in (if they are resident students), plan to participate in afternoon events especially for family members.

If your student is transferring to Calvin from another institution, please see the Transfer QUEST page.

Some things to keep in mind about registration

When students register for PASSPORT using their Applicant Status page, they are automatically registered for QUEST, along with you and any additional family members.

A $250 orientation fee will be charged to your student’s account in early September. This fee covers both orientation programs—PASSPORT and QUEST. Please note that there are additional costs associated with Wilderness Orientation.
